Layout objects that enable resize behavior are automatically generated for existing dashboard sections that do not have layout objects when a dashboard starts up. However, if you are creating a new dashboard section, click Apply in Step 4 of the Dashboard Studio Wizard to generate layout objects and enable dashboard resize behavior.
Note:
You cannot resize dashboard sections that did not go through the Associate wizard step or that were not created using the Build Dashboard form in a WebDash document. If your dashboard is not connected to the Wizard, however, you can still generate layout objects manually.
To generate layout objects:
In Interactive Reporting Studio, open a dashboard and navigate to Layout Properties.
To access the configuration frame, use Sections or the Configuration drop-down list in Dashboard Studio.
With one or more sections selected, click

If you are not satisfied with the default location of the layout guide, see Repositioning Layout Guides. If you are not satisfied with the default size of the layout guide, see Changing the Minimum Size of Dashboard Sections".
